👍👍 What a stunning place to visit. It is a great viewpoint to visit for someone with mobility issues. Even from the car the views are superb. There are 3 picnic benches up a short walk from the parking. Breathtaking panoramic view of Lough Foyle.

👍👍 Wow! A long and narrow road leads to this viewpoint as well as a path climbing up the hill. I took the road option as I didn't have time for the walk. A few cyclists and pedestrians as well as many in cars also. Worth the narrow drive to see the view. On a clear day it is stunning. Beautiful. Lots o...

Rugged headland with dramatic cliff & ocean views, plus remains of Altagore cashel, an ancient fort.

👍👍 There are a few different routes to the caves. This one was from beside Belfast Castle. It's quite steep in places but if you take your time, you should be fine. Worth carrying on up to the fort at the top.. The view is AMAZING!!!

Camping, a Japanese gardens & woodland hikes, plus crumbling remains of a manor house, in a park.

Modern center with audio tours, a gift shop & exhibits on the dramatic seaside basalt columns.

👍👍 Spectacular, in the right weather! The waterfall discharges directly into the ocean, and with a good swell coming in from the Atlantic, every now and then a wave will surge right up the waterfall itself. Be prepared to get wet, and make sure you're somewhere that's not going to get you washed into t...

Storied castle ruin dating to the 5th century set in picturesque, coastal surroundings.

👍👍 Handy spot to drive to from Macmillan Antrim hospital.have your food go a walk along shore. See jet skis etc on Lough. Get head showered. From hospital atmosphere. Plenty of dog walkers.

👍 Very friendly people here. A extremely nice man who had the key for the gate, he let us go to the other side to see the wider view of the Lough Neagh. Well kept area, didn't have enough time to see the Eel factory, definitely will go there again.

👍👍 Oh my word!!!! Stunning views ....breathtaking scenery all National trust owned and run and a cool cafè at the end... various trails to follow.

👍👍 The main riverside walk is a great place for family walks. Nice quiet place for walks. A good path with Summer seats along the way. Path can be mucky in winter time. Good footwear is required. Forest is nice and the sound of the river is nice too.

👍👍 Pleasant 25 minute circular walk around the lough and woodland. It's popular for walking, running, triathlon swimming, paddle boarding and fishing. It's busier at the weekend and there's a cafe hatch with outdoor seating. It's located beside Loughmacrory community centre, with picnic tables and ple...

👍👍 There are 4 routes to choose from here, green, yellow, blue and red, each progressively more challenging. The red route is 5.5km and you are climbing for the first half, some tough inclines on this route and the blue route. But if you manage it, you are rewarded with stunning views over the Glens. T...

👍👍 Very nice walk despite the biting flys 😂 it was not mentioned anywhere. So be aware of flys that swamping around the bog. They stings and kind of annoying. No much harm unless you have allergies to the stings of insects. Bring some jungle formula or cover your body and head. I really liked the wal...
